The Cobra that got away.

I am looking to customize a figure, but I need it to have bare arms (gloves are fine, but no wrist wraps or bracelets). The only ones I can think of are Gung Ho and the Crimson Twins and I don't like Gung Ho's skin tone.
Any ideas for me? Thanks!

-Tomax/Xamot/Mindbender arms. Lower arms suck, but look great with Chuckles lower arms. Mindbender's upper arms and Chuckles lower arms have a perfect skin match.
-Chuckles lower arms. Note that they look like Flint arms, but they're different. Chuckles are the same than 25th carded Shipwreck, which are beefier and have nothing in the wrists (unlike Flint's that have a wrist watch) -25th Spirit has Chuckle's lower arms too, in case you need darker skin tone. his hands have no gloves. -Copperhead arms. He has bracelets like Gung-Ho, but if you use Bazooka's lower arms, they're a perfect skin match...albeit being a huge set. (perfect for big white characters) -Resolute Roadblock/Night Adder, for dark skinned, big bare arms. -Resolute Storm Shadow has great upper bare arms. (the same than 25th Quick Kick, and 7pk Mercer) -PoC Jungle Duke has full bare arms, from shoulder to wrist. Has a great set of gloved hands. They're more realistic and not so bulky as the 25th arms. -PoC Marine Duke has great lower arms. These are the ones i've tested, and most are casted in flesh-toned plastic (i hate painted arms), so there might be easier figures to than exactly these. .

No problem, i've tested a lot since bare arms are really difficult to find, and almost every custom i want to do has them! :P
Just remember to check the skin tone if you don't want to paint, and check the peg at the elbow too, sometimes you'll have to sand them down a bit.

Check out the 2005 (?) Major Barrage figure which has very nicely sculpted and well articulated arms.
